State Govt Mulls Dream Railway Project To Link Two Capitals

Aneesh Phadnis I TNN

Nagpur: The Maharashtra government plans for a high speed train which will cruise at 350 kmph and reduce travelling time between Mumbai and Nagpur to three hours flat. At the moment the 830-km ride between two state capitals takes 12 hours.
On Thursday, chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh gave a green signal to appoint a consultant to study in detail feasibility about constructing the high speed train link. The state cabinet approved the proposal to appoint a consultant in its Thursday meeting. Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority and City and Industrial Development Corporation will be involved in the project.
Finance minister Jayant Patil, who travelled in super fast trains in Europe during his recent trip, is pushing for the ambitious project in the state.
“If we want Maharashtra to be the most progressive in the country we must introduce cutting edge technology in infrastructure. We need good east-west train connectivity and this will bring development and attract investment in backward in Marathwada and Vidarbha region,’’ Patil told reporters in Mumbai. The state is keen to develop a new high speed corridor between Mumbai-Nanded-Nagpur.
The minister said he has spoken to railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and he has shown interest in the project. “The project can be taken up with public-private partnership model and will be done with co-operation with the railway ministry,’’ Patil added. He said in Netherlands 900 kmph high speed line was constructed in a year and a half and the contractor is responsible for maintenance of the rail lines.
When contacted, a top railway official said, “We had heard about the state’s proposal to link important cities. However, the Nagpur division Central Railway is not involved in the project at this stage. The proposal will take time to materialise. It will go to the Railway Board and the ministry will decide about the investments.” A new track will have to be constructed for the new train, he added.

‘Punctuality, safety need of the hour’

The state government’s plan to start a high speed train service between Mumbai and Nagpur has been received with skepticism from the opposition parties. Former railway minister Ram Naik, who is currently in Nagpur, said such a plan was likely to remain on paper only. Moreover, Indian conditions are not fit for running of high speed trains and although tracks are fit for high speed trains they are open on all sides. “We don’t require high speed trains. What we require is punctuality and safety,’’ he said.

Did you know?

The TGV is France’s high-speed rail service. Following the inaugural TGV service between Paris and Lyon in 1981, the TGV network, has expanded to connect cities across France and in adjacent countries. It holds the record for the fastest wheeled train, having reached 574.8 kmph.

TGV trainsets travel at up to 320 kmph in commercial use. A specially modified trainset reached 574.8 kmph on test runs. Its high speed, almost equal to that of prototype Maglev trains, is made possible through the use of specially-designed high-speed lines without sharp curves, highpowered electric motors, low axle weight, articulated carriages and in-cab signalling.

‘It will take 10 yrs’

Top railway safety officials say that it will take at least ten years to successfully run such a high speed train.

“When the chief safety commissioner has taken objection to the 160 kmph of the Shatabdi that runs between Bhopal and Delhi, how can a train with 350 kmph be possible?” they asked. “To run such a high speed train, the railways will have to overhaul the system. The train needs all manned gates. The present system is suitable for trains running at 110 kmph. It will also require advance warning system and anti-collision devices and all bridges will have to undergo modifications,” they said.

Doctor’s prescription: It will be safe

Atrain at break-neck speed would certainly be safe ride says city doctor. The proposed Mumbai-Nagpur train will be running at a speed of nearly 350 kmph.
Such trains have a compact in-built mechanism to neutralise the friction due to the movement, due to which travellers with heart problem or blood pressure related ailments may not pose any major trouble, said Dr Jaspal Arneja of Arneja Heart Institute.

Dell, the US leading computer system company, is the new entrant in the city, after Boeing and Airbus.

The company will be setting up a hardware manufacturing facility on 70 acres of land in the state government’s Multi-Modal International Hub Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN).

“Two developers, Vipul Infrastructure and Karamchand Developers, have jointly purchased land in the MIHAN project for Dell. These developers will be constructing the manufacturing facility,”said R C Sinha, MD, Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC).

The developers have purchased the land at Rs 35 lakh per acre, which takes the land cost to Rs 25 crore.

The 10,000 acres MIHAN project has 3,645 acres of land dedicated to three Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and a captive power plant. The proposed SEZ spans around 1,000 acres and has received the maximum response among other SEZs.

The IT Park includes companies such as Satyam, L&T and Infotech. Shapoorji Pallonji too have acquired around 100 acres of land in IT Park. The developer plans to bring a host of MNCs as per the list submitted to MADC.

Business park group’s first development fund will have a target asset size of $1 billion By Joyce Teo, Property Correspondent

DEVELOPMENT ASSETS: The fund will include the International Tech Park in Nagpur.

BUSINESS park developer Ascendas yesterday launched a $500 million fund to invest in property development projects in India.

Called Ascendas India Development Trust, Ascendas’s first development fund has a target asset size of $1 billion.

This follows its $250 million equity Ascendas India IT Parks Trust, which was launched in June 2005.

The fund comes as India’s real estate sector is seeing strong demand for quality commercial space as the country develops into a global information technology outsourcing powerhouse.

Its growth will also be underpinned by India’s rapidly growing and diversifying economy.

The development fund is set to invest in development assets including land suitable for industrial, commercial, residential and retail use.

Ascendas will develop the business space within the development projects.

Fund investors will benefit from a diversified blend of returns, said Ascendas in a statement yesterday.

The fund will include International Tech Park in Pune and International Tech Park in Nagpur, which are being developed as state-promoted special economic zones.

Ascendas announced in April that it was building these two major business parks, worth a total of $570 million, in north-western Maharashtra state. Pune and Nagpur are the biggest cities in the state, after Mumbai, which is India’s financial hub.

The fund is securing more properties.

Ascendas has a 26 per cent stake in the fund. Other investors include Bahrain-based Islamic investment bank Arcapita and ING Private Banking.

Arcapita said they will look at other opportunities in India and elsewhere with Ascendas.

Ascendas yesterday also announced that it had appointed Mr Jonathan Yap as the chief executive officer (CEO) of its India funds business from June 1.

Mr Yap, who is based in Singapore, will manage all of Ascendas’ India-focused funds, including future ones in the pipeline.

He said the launch of the fund reflects Ascendas’ long-term commitment to India.

Mr Lim Sin Tiow will take over his previous position as CEO of Ascendas India.

Ascendas’ portfolio in India comprises seven IT parks spread over Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune and Nagpur.

The company listed Singapore’s first business space trust, Ascendas real estate investment trust, in November 2002.

Ascendas, the Singapore-based business space solutions provider, has announced plans for two major business parks in Maharashtra. The two projects are coming up as joint ventures with government agencies — a partnership with the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) for an IT park in Pune and a joint venture with Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) for an IT park in Nagpur. Both projects are located within Government-promoted and approved Special Economic Zones (SEZs).

This is Ascendas’ first expansion outside of south India and it expects to invest around Rs. 1,625 crore ($375 million) to develop the parks in phases over the next 5-7 years. It will be introducing the iconic International Tech Park (ITP) brand in Maharashtra. The two upcoming parks are to be named International Tech Park, Pune (ITPP), and International Tech Park, Nagpur (ITPN). Ascendas had already developed similar parks in Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Addressing the media here on Wednesday, Chong Siak Ching, President and CEO, Ascendas Pte Ltd., said, “Ascendas will also bring in co-investors for the two projects but will remain the majority shareholder. We will have a 74 per cent stake in ITP Pune with MIDC’s contribution of 26 per cent being by way of land. In ITP Nagpur, we will have an 89 per cent stake with 11 per cent remaining with MADC.”

In Pune, Ascendas and MIDC will jointly develop a 2.5 million sq. ft. IT park spread over 25 acres in Phase-3 of Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjewadi. The park will be developed in five phases with the construction of the first phase comprising five lakh sq. ft. commencing in the second quarter of 2007. It is likely to be completed by mid-2008 and upon completion it is expected to generate employment for about 5,000 IT and ITeS (IT-enabled services) professionals.

The project at Nagpur will have Ascendas and MADC develop over 4.5 million sq. ft. of IT space on a 63-acre site within the Multi-modal International Hub Airport (MIHAN). The park will progress in six phases with the construction of the first phase comprising five lakh sq. ft. is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2007and it will be completed in 18 months thereafter. H. M. Gajbhiye, Senior Vice-President, MADC, said the Nagpur SEZ itself was expected to attract investments in excess of Rs. 25,000 crore.

“With these two new landmark projects in Pune and Nagpur, Ascendas has opened a new frontier in Maharashtra, India’s most established manufacturing and services hub, to showcase the best features of our parks around Asia and set new benchmarks in Maharashtra’s IT landscape. The two parks, when fully complete, will employ around 70,000 people. We continue to explore more destinations on our radar screen, among which are Chandigarh, Delhi, Jaipur and Kolkata,” Ms. Ching said.

NAGPUR, India: A year ago, this relatively small, forgettable city in the heart of India did not have an air-conditioned cinema. In the sweltering heat of May, the rich here were known to fly one hour to Mumbai, the financial hub of India, to see a movie. There they stocked up on Levi’s jeans and Domino’s pizza and other big-city treats that Nagpur failed to provide.

But in a social experiment highly unusual for this most unplanned of countries, the Indian government has handpicked Nagpur to be fattened and primped into an international metropolis.

Lush parks and smooth roads have been lain, and malls and multiplex cinemas have sprouted. A drastically renovated airport is to become the cargo hub of India, with a terminal that is 100 times larger than the existing one and is to handle at least 100 jets at a time instead of the current five. An ecofriendly mass-transit system is being planned to absorb an expected surge in road traffic, years before the average Nagpurian owns a car. The government is building a special economic zone with tax breaks and ready-to-use water, electricity and fiber optic cable, in the hope of attracting 100,000 technology jobs to a city long dominated by coal mining.

Borrowing a chapter from China’s playbook, the Indian government has begun working to make metropolises out of smaller, isolated cities, from Jaipur in the north to Vijayawada in the east to Mysore in the south, garnishing them with fresh infrastructure like international airports and financial grants linked to improvements in governance.

“One hundred million people are moving to cities in the next 10 years, and it’s important that these 100 million are absorbed into second-tier cities instead of showing up in Delhi or Mumbai,” Montek Singh Ahluwalia, the Indian government’s chief economic planner, said in a telephone conversation.

Since its independence from Britain in 1947, the city-building philosophy of India has been, to put it tenderly, laissez-faire. Except for the recently developed technology hubs of Bangalore and Hyderabad, India has not added cosmopolitan, globally connected metropolises to its old ones: Calcutta, Delhi, Madras and Mumbai. As the Indian population tripled, the 1.1 billion people living on about 3 million square kilometers, or 1.1 million square miles, were left to scramble for space and opportunity in the few thousand square kilometers that contained well-paid jobs, 24-hour electricity and air-conditioned cinemas.

To take just one measure of the shortage of developed metropolises, there are 65 million Indians for every airport with the three-kilometer, or two-mile, runway required by large jetliners, according to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. In the United States, the figure is 1.6 million people; in China, 25 million.

Even as China beefed up second-tier cities like Dalian, Hangzhou and Tianjin and linked them to the world, India waited. And its cities began to break. In Mumbai, a majority of people live in slums, and a sewage river passes through just as the Seine streaks Paris. Delhi is chronically short of water and electricity. Calcutta teems with rickshaw drivers who break their bodies for a few cents a ride, because there are too many people vying for work in so tiny a place.

No one knows if India has the stamina to build Nagpur to completion, and then build 20 more. But many experts regard metropolis-building as a silver bullet for India, slaying many problems with a single shot.

“Much of India’s future will undeniably be made in the second-tier cities,” said Ashutosh Varshney, a specialist on Indian political economy at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The existing metropolises “will reach saturation points before long, or have already reached such points, and re-engineering their capacities for further growth will not be easy.”

New metropolises could erode poverty, easing the load on cramped, Dickensian cities and creating more hubs where rural migrants can go for jobs in textile mills or the retail sector. More international airports could help raise incomes for the 700 million rural Indians by making it easier for their produce to reach export markets.

The Indian metropolis-building might also be an environmental boon. Upstart cities like Nagpur, on which millions have yet to descend, can grow on an ecofriendly model, with green spaces, mass transit and rainwater harvesting, in a way that old cities, with entrenched infrastructure, cannot.

“There’s a whole lot of leapfrogging possibilities when you’re creating new capitals,” said Ahluwalia, the government planner.

New cities are also craved by industry, which is struggling to pay soaring land prices and wages in the traditional metropolises.

Investors have long known this. What is new is the enthusiasm of the government, which has pledged in the last two years to spend $29 billion over seven years to upgrade 63 cities. Grants are given only to cities that tighten governance and enact business-friendly policies like scaling back rent control. More than half the funds are reserved for 56 cities with populations below four million.

One fact separates Nagpur, with an estimated 2.5 million people, from the other 55: When the Indian government selected it as the air cargo hub for the country, it guaranteed skeptical investors that this obscure city would eventually rank with the busiest airports in the world, with all the attendant job creation and prosperity. Nagpur was chosen because it lies near the geographic center of India and is a crossroads of road and rail traffic.

“It has the potential to be the growth nucleus of central India,” Lokesh Chandra, the fresh-faced Nagpur municipal commissioner, said in an interview.

Any city chief might make such a claim. But in Nagpur, the blueprints of the new airport suggest that here, at least, India has genuinely broken with its old build-it-only-after-a-catastrophic-shortage approach to infrastructure, adopting something closer to the Chinese if-you-build-it-they-will-come philosophy.

Today, the Nagpur airport is an airstrip. Visitors deplane and cross the tarmac on foot to enter the terminal. It takes 30 seconds to traverse the entire terminal from arrival gate to taxi stand.

The blueprints foreshadow radical change. Nagpur got its first international flight just 18 months ago, but it is already planning a second runway long enough for jets like the Airbus A380 superjumbo. A new terminal, already being built, will occupy 300,000 square meters, or 3.2 million square feet, up from 3,000 square meters. It is designed to accommodate 14 million passengers a year, a 20-fold increase. Consultants from Changi Airport in Singapore have been hired to spruce up the duty-free shopping.

Next to the airport is a vast special economic zone, an enclave of relative economic freedom designed to attract investors. Boeing, the plane maker, is setting up a maintenance hub there, and in an adjoining technology park Indian outsourcing vendors like Satyam Computer Services and HCL Technologies have signed up for land.

Together, the airport, cargo operation and park are expected to employ more than 100,000 people.

The project has made Nagpur’s renaissance a fait accompli for many investors, and their enthusiasm has bid up real estate prices.

A decade ago, an acre, or 0.4 hectare, of land on the main street, Wardha Road, sold for 100,000 rupees, or about $2,400 at current exchange rates. Today it costs 20 to 40 times more, property developers say. Even in less lucrative areas, prices have at least doubled in five years.

To some, it feels like a bubble. Alok Tiwari, executive editor of The Hitawada, the local newspaper, said investors were anticipating a boom, but that the underlying fuel of a boom – more jobs and buying power – had yet to arrive. “We’ve got to create opportunity, not just take land and build a mall there,” he said.

Some entrepreneurs accuse the government of building the special economic zones at the expense of clearing the thicket of taxes and regulations that hinders growth outside those rarified enclaves.

“Government is not trying to help,” said Vijaykumar, a developer who goes by one name and whose family-run company built Nagpur’s first shopping mall.

Yet the boom is real enough that Vijaykumar is investing heavily in new office towers, houses and malls in the city.

That may be enough. Nagpurians marvel at how, with every new mall, the young discover wants they never had before. They work harder to afford those wants. More malls are built to satisfy them. And after a time, the cycle acquires its own momentum.

Vishwas Chaknalwar, a builder, put it this way. “Once you wear Pyramid clothes,” he said, referring to a new mall here, “you cannot wear anything else.”

‘Mihan is biggest development project’
22 May, 2007 l 0305 hrs IST lTIMES NEWS NETWORK

SMS NEWS to 8888 for latest updates
NAGPUR: Half a million trees will be planted in Multimodal International Passenger and Cargo Hub at Nagpur (Mihan) spread over 2086 hectares of land. No polluting industries like units using furnaces will be allowed and each unit will be asked to grow trees in 10% of their allotted land, said Maharashtra Airport Development Company managing director R C Sinha on Monday.

He said Mihan is the biggest economical development project being executed in the country currently and it will the greenest and environment friendly.

He was addressing the cream of the city present at a special day long workshop on—”Mihan-A changing economic face of Nagpur and Vidarbha”—organised by Bhaurao Deoras Human Resources Research and Development Institute. “The Mihan is the first and biggest project of its kind. People of Vidarbha should reap benefits from it and make most of the opportunities coming their way,” said Sinha in an informative presentation at the workshop.

Mihan will have the largest airport terminal of 3,000 square metres. The second runway—4000 x 60 will the longest making it possible for large aircraft to land here. Running parallel to the existing runway, landing and take-off will be possible simultaneously at Mihan.

“SEZ will be complementary to the international passenger and cargo hub being developed around the airport in 1,278 hectares. The health city which will promote international health city will be another attraction,” said Sinha.

“Medical treatment and surgeries cost hugely in the US and Europe. But best quality treatment will be made available at the Mihan health city. “For instance, an American can get a surgical cure at the health city, couple it with a visit to Tadoba tiger reserve. And still cost $20,000 as compared to the high expenses in the US,” said Sinha.

Known to be the main force driving the dream project of Vidarbha, Sinha exhorted all present, including academicians, to wake up to the challenge and make available “employable” people that will be required in large numbers at Mihan. “Right now over 75% of the over 8,000 engineering graduates that the region produces every year go out seeking jobs. But now a reverse brain will begin. Not only from abroad but even those having links with Nagpur will come back to work in IT units at Mihan,” said Sinha.

Deoras trust chairman and state BJP president Nitin Gadkari said the objective of the workshop was to give a first hand information to the educational institutes and entrepreneurs, businessmen of the great chance waiting for them.

MLC Girish Gandhi inaugurated the workshop while RTM Nagpur University vice chancellor and Sant Gadge Maharaj Amravati University vice chancellor Dr Kamal Singh were chief guests.

In an interesting interactive session that followed Sinha said his term with MADC will last till June 2009 and he would complete the most important phase of infrastructure development for Mihan. “Profit is not the motive of the project. I have taken up this assignment looking to the social aspects—how it will bring prosperity to a region left behind in march to progress while other parts of the state have gone far ahead,” said Sinha.

Wipro is close to setting up an IT park in Nagpur and is believed to have acquired 117 acres of land at the new special economic zone in the city. Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys Technologies had also evinced interest in setting up IT parks, even though the companies are yet to be allotted land in the special economic zone.

According to a source close to the development, the company has acquired 117 acres at the multi-modal international hub airport (Mihan).

The company is also believed to have paid 20 per cent of the total price upfront to Maharashtra Airport Development Company.

MADC is the special purpose vehicle launched by various Maharashtra state government bodies, including MSIDC and CIDCO among others, for the development of Mihan. MADC Vice-Chairman and Managing Director R C Sinha confirmed the development. “We have already allotted land to Wipro for setting up an IT park.”

Earlier, MADC had allotted 100 acres each to Satyam Computer Systems and Shapoorji Pallonji & Co, and 120 acres to L&T Infocity. The companies would also look at setting up IT parks at Mihan. Wipro is looking at setting up a software development centre in the city. It would also look at using the location for expansion of its business process outsourcing, business process management and knowledge services among others.

However, it would take a while for the IT park to be operational. Wipro is believed to be looking at 1.5-2 years’ window period before commencing operations from Mihan.

Laxman Badiga, vice-president, administration and facilities, Wipro, said: “We had earlier evinced interest in setting up a facility at Mihan. The process is on, and at this moment we cannot divulge anything further.”

Nagpur is increasingly becoming a hot spot for industries, especially IT companies, as the city is home to over 40 educational institutes. An availability of resources or low salaries, and firms looking at moving over to tier-II cities, have also resulted in gaining an importance for the city.

Central location, ample educational institutions and cheaper trained workforce attract IT firms.

Nagpur may be the destination next for several information technology firms during the next couple of years.

From having new set-ups to massive expansion plans, the city is on the radar of several companies, including IT majors to mid-cap ones. The central location, ample number of educational institutions and cheaper trained workforce are attracting IT firms.

This was very much in evidence at the ‘Destination Nagpur’, a seminar organised by Nasscom, here recently. Here are rough plans spelt out by five major IT companies who have Nagpur on their radar:

Leading IT company, Satyam, which has already been allotted around 130 hectares of land at the special economic zone, is aiming to set up its unit by 2008.

The unit will employ at least 500 people in software development and allied activities, said Satyam’s director and senior vice president Vijay Prasad.

“We are also contemplating implementing our “Gram IT” initiative in the region. This encourages people in villages to take up back office functions. The job is done at villages and not much education is required for getting employment. Satyam presently employs around 400 persons under the project,” he said.

The business process outsourcing division of Wipro conducted a survey in the city a week ago and is keen on setting up a BPO unit here. The unit may be set up outside the SEZ and search is on for a suitable site.

“There is this restriction of taking two hectares land in the SEZ but our unit would be smaller. It would still employ 500 persons,” said Wipro’s general manager (technology), Rajiv Gerala. Wipro has BPO assignments from companies in the US and UK.

Lately, it bagged a contract from a US oil major to track the movement of stock from depots to gas stations, he said.

Global Logic, which recently took over city-based Lambent Technologies, also plans a 100 per cent expansion every year in the city. “Our unit covers 25,000 square feet near Besa and we are in the process of expanding to occupy a total of 45,000 square feet,” said vice-president (corporate development) Rajul Garg.

The expansion drive, wherein the work would be doubled every year, would continue for at least three to four years, he said. Global Logic also plans to get listed on American bourses, he added.

The workforce would also be sourced through a unique programme called SETU started by Lambent Technologies. Under this, there is a tie-up with educational institutions and students are given 1,000 hours of free training before being absorbed, Garg said.

The unit here would mainly focus on software used for cellphones, he elaborated.

Hyderabad-based Infotech too did a recce at the SEZ and called on officials of the Maharashtra Airport Development Company – the agency implementing this project.

Infotech will be opening two new units in Vishakapattnam and Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh next year and will add Nagpur to the list in 2008, said chairman, BVR Mohan Reddy.

“In fact, a lot of activity in the aviation front has attracted us to Nagpur as we specialise in aviation related software. The company’s clients include aircraft majors like – Boeing and Airbus. There are other advantageous factors like central location of place and good number of educational institutes,” said Reddy.

A listed company, Infotech, employs around 4,000 people.

MADC’s vice-chairman and managing director R C Sinha said that around 12 fresh IT companies have evinced interest in having a plot in the SEZ. Of these, the big names include – TCS and HCL. Around 10 small companies have also approached for small plots of land.

However, they have been advised to join hands and float a separate company to jointly get land in the SEZ, said Sinha.

US-based Satellier LLC, which provides service to the construction industry, is also keen on Nagpur.

The company considers Nagpur as a “secondary city” ranking it just next to the metros and other big cities. There are plans to have a new unit in India within the next one year and the SEZ here is one of the options, said Satellier’s CEO, Michael Jansen. Satellier presently has a unit in Delhi.
